Why do You Love Me

John Yotko

You wore a necklace with planet Earth hanging from it
That jingled like a wind chime in a light breeze when you walked
Your earrings each a silver sphere with a hoop around each one

I said you look like a solar system
Planet Earth, two Saturn hanging from you ears
No, Neptune
The hoops are vertical like Neptune’s not flat like Saturn’s

Your eyes are like stars in the deep dark...

Neptune is blue when seen through a telescope, she said
And these are silver

But when the naked eye looks out at Neptune
It appears silver in the night sky, I said
Like your earrings

Neptune is the only planet that cannot be seen
With the naked eye, she said
It is six times dimmer than the dimmest star
Which means its many times brighter than you...

Tell me again...
Why do you love me?
